It had to happen!

Say Who You Are!
The album that did it for me. The one that, during my exploration of the Simple Minds back catalogue, “sealed the deal”. Empires And Dance put me into a state of…I dunno…suspended animation. I quite literally could not believe what I was hearing…that the band responsible for Don’t You (Forget About Me ) – subsequently…
In Here The Sun Shines So Bright – From The “Burning Gold” Memories.
Looking in from the outer, I see some tentative improvement on “The Group”. At least a few more memories are filtering through and the admins at SMOG (well, more accurately, the admins at SMO via SMOG…same admins? Dunno) at least asked for some participation and contributions from fans yesterday. It may have legs yet. I…

The Return Of SSIS Video From Belgian TV
This clip was around on YouTube last year and then shortly after disappeared. I was GUTTED when it disappeared. I only got a few screengrabs from it and although I made a bit of art from it as a result, I missed being able to watch the clip. I just love it…and I adore Jim…
I’m Done – Prip Has Left The Building
I didn’t see the point of SMOG. I mean…the posting thing? I’m not concerned for myself. I don’t feel I have anything much to this group to contribute to be honest. I tend not to with any of the SM groups. Not posting to them myself anyway. Not very often. But I comment on posts…

It sounds really good. And…

Don’t You (Forget About Me) – Live In The City Of Angels
I think I may actually like this more than the Love Song offering. What’s going on, guv? Lol I’m still not sure about how much overdubbing has been done…dunno. Jim’s voice seems more natural and recorded “on the night” than it does on Love Song. I’m feeling a little more optimistic after this. The other…

Burning Gold Memories…
Well maybe SMOG will get better. But I fear it’ll be VERY selective and VERY exclusive. And…I have no memories from a lifetime ago…nothing of any significance to contribute so I’ll keep schtum. My memories will probably just be shared here on the blog. This post from Carol Loudon deserved its posting to SMOG. It’s…
Some Promised Land…
